Aberrant activated Notch1 promotes prostate enlargement driven by androgen signaling via disrupting mitochondrial function in mouse
In conclusion, our study revealed that over-activated Notch1 signaling induces prostatic enlargement by increasing androgen receptor sensitivity, disrupting cellular mitochondrial metabolism, increasing ROS, and a higher number of progenitor cells, all of which can be effectively rescued by NAC treatment.PMID:38538986 | DOI:10.1007/s00018-024-05143-0 (Source: Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences : CMLS)

Overexpression of Transmembrane Phosphatase with Tensin homology (TPTE) in prostate cancer is clinically significant, suggesting its potential as a valuable biomarker
CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate that increased TPTE expression is associated with progression of disease. The ability of anti-TPTE-p2 antibody to recognize and target the TPTE protein makes it a potential biomarker to assess and/or target the PCa.PMID:38546751 | DOI:10.1007/s00432-024-05694-6 (Source: Cell Research)

Multivariate Statistical Evaluation of 20 Metals/Metalloid Levels in the Serum of Patients with Prostate Gland Diseases
This study elucidates the imbalances of the elements with BPH/PC patients and healthy subjects. For multiple comparisons, Bonferroni test was applied and principal component analysis was performed for measuring the multiple metals/metalloid exposure. Mean concentrations of Al, Cr, Pb, Cd, Na, Ni and K were found higher significantly (p <  0.05) in the serum of BPH patients compared with healthy controls, while average levels of Sb, Al, Cd, As, Mn, Sr, K and Pb were significantly (p <  0.05) elevated in PC patients than controls. The correlation patterns revealed significantly different mutual associations amo...

Omentin-1 inhibits the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia by attenuating local inflammation
CONCLUSION: The study demonstrates that ITLN-1 plays a significant role in inhibiting the development of BPH by reducing local inflammation in the prostate gland. These findings highlight the potential of ITLN-1 as a therapeutic target in the management of BPH.PMID:38519941 | DOI:10.1186/s10020-024-00805-y (Source: Molecular Medicine)

Transurethral bipolar enucleation using a TUEB loop for large benign prostatic hyperplasia: a retrospective cohort study
ConclusionTUEB using a TUEB loop resulted in high levels of satisfaction regarding the enucleation efficiency, efficacy, and safety for BPH surgery regardless of the prostate size. TUEB should be considered one of the best treatment options for large BPH that is uncontrollable with medication. (Source: World Journal of Urology)

PI-RADS v2.1 evaluation of prostate “nodule in nodule” variants: clinical, imaging, and pathological features
ConclusionWhen the inner nodules of “nodule in nodule” lesions in PI-RADS v2.1 category 1 in the TZ show incomplete capsulation or obscured margins, they are considered atypical nodules and might be upgraded to PI-RADS v2.1 category 3 if they exhibit marked diffusion restriction. However, further validation is needed.Critical relevance statementThis study first analyzed the relationship between clinical and pathological findings and the size, margin, and multimodal MRI manifestations of the prostate “nodule in nodule.” These findings could improve the diagnostic accuracy of PI-RADS v2.1 for prostate lesions.Key poi...
